There is a certain slant of light that illuminates the city of Paris. It is vivifying, playing on her until it conjures a glow from within. She glistens as if bathing, shedding her urban grime. And her people gleam, embraced by the soulful light until they themselves reflect its inspiration. A heightened awareness is born of that certain slant. These images are a testament to this enchanting light and to the city that wears it. Together they become an enchantress, known to stir swooning in those who encounter her and sweeping them off their feet. — John Gevers
